What we need now is books about money, not sex. Our financial crisis is killing us as people and murdering our institutions.

Poorly timed as usual, religious publishers are busy ejaculating sex books of every stripe and denomination. Some of us suspect that the spate of these books is an act of desperation, to rescue the publishers and authors from financial crisis. Better they should write about money.

Let's just be clear about our assessment of this burst of sacred self-help sex manuals. When we want to learn how to play better golf, we buy a book by a golf pro, not a rabbi. To learn about any sport or other important activity we'd suggest one turn to professionals with actual credentials.
